The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett

This is a book that has been discussed online a lot given the recent (and very delayed) focus on the lives of Black people in America. This book is a straightforward conversation of four different women, each with their own priorities and colours of skin as well as how they define themselves. This tale is,…

A Proper Charade by Esther Hatch

It has been a while since I read a 'regency romance' which had only romance and no mystery or additional plotline. I read quite a few in college and then reached a saturation point. It has been a decade since then, but I never binged like that again. I have seen quite a few available…

The Case of the Howling Dog by Erle Stanley Gardner

Narrated by: Alexander Cendese I am pleased to admit that I have had no problems continuing in my journey of available Perry Mason books on my Kindle Unlimited account. The fun continues in this one. Mason is riding high on a victory when the oddest man comes in. He is either mad or in the grips…

Constable on the Hill (Constable Nick Mystery #1) by Nicholas Rhea

I was introduced to James Herriot quite early on thanks to an Aunt who had all the four omnibus editions. I saw that this book was on a similar line and decided to give it a shot. I have since found out that this was a very long-running series in Britain and even watched a…

Sunny Days and Sea Breezes by Carole Matthews

I need to preface my review that I really enjoyed Happiness for Beginners by Carole Matthews and that has significantly influenced my current review. If I had read it as a standalone, I would have rated it higher (maybe). I went in with very high expectations into the story, and in the very first scene, I…
